He's going to Threads??? They have finally launched the metaverse and no one has told me anything??? I don't see any other rational reason to do something like that.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 hour ago

Follow me on Threads, if you like.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 29 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I thought he was into horror?

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't blame him, reality is scarier than fiction.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I don't think he expected to witness Greg Stillson for real.

[–] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 41 points 10 hours ago

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 51 points 12 hours ago

Threads is the same or worse. I just deleted my account.

Good luck.

[–] venia_sil@fedia.io 114 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Follow me on Threads

so, nothing has changed.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 133 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y'all understand that it's more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain't the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it's the same thing is fucking insane.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Facebook and its sister sites have been a hotbed of unmoderated nazi content for longer than some of the people in this thread have been alive.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I feel like with Facebook it's more of a YouTube situation where they don't care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don't get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Meta admitted to tolerating election influencing, it doesnt matter in which direction, because it means they can be bought.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 36 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It is intentionally amplified by the owners because that makes them money. We have more than enough knowledge to say that with confidence thanks to the empirical data and ex-employees.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 12 points 9 hours ago

They aren't saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 12 hours ago

Right? People seems to forgot there's mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Zuckerberg zucks Trump’s choad as much as Elon behind the scenes. It’s kinda worse in a way.

[–] Seeders@sh.itjust.works 87 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I'm leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Subscribed! One question of one of your fans: Will you do free giveaways on sh.it just.works? I read every comment you write and I would love to support you enhancing your outreach. I know people from several instances, I also talked to a moderator once (it was DM because I was banned but the mod was wrong omg)

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 hours ago (3 children)
[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 hours ago

It clearly following, I don’t know what you’re talking about

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You have to go old school, bookmark their profile in a browser

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I do this frequently. Then I randomly go back to people's profiles and often find interesting communities and threads that way.

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

You can subscribe to their profile RSS feed, if you are into RSS.

You clearly don't know anything about Stephen King's politics and social positions.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 15 points 11 hours ago

Apparently neither does he.

TECTONIC SHIFT

[–] ech@lemm.ee 17 points 13 hours ago

Not to say people shouldn't leave Twitter, but like...this isn't going to devastate him. He's in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 35 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Leaving a corpo-propaganda place, join another corpo-propaganda place. So close, King, so close.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 12 points 13 hours ago

Just like the chest piece, King just moved one square.

[–] ProIsh@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago

Now it's too toxic? I love SK but come on. Supported that site for too long.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 15 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Boom! Mic drop! Stephen King EVISCERATES loser Elon in this EPIC post on X Formerly Known As Twitter!

[gif of that person clapping, you should know which one, everyone posted it endlessly every time Chrissy Teigen or those Krassenstein fucks threw some meaningless shade] hats off to this brave hashtag Resister for doing something that everyone should have fucking done three years ago at the very latest

I’m done, fuck everything, fuck everyone

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

At this rate, Twitter worth will be in minus soon.

[–] Lydia_K@startrek.website 47 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter, he got what he paid for on November 5th

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

while he's well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 19 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure he paid to dismantle the public square, an organizing space for the left, a voice for millions, and all that sweet sweet information that will soon be used to hunt the enemy within.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ding Ding Ding.

I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying "He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass"

You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

100%, and funded partially by Saudis whi dismembered journalist Khashoggi over the Panama Papers. This was an attack on the public and it continues. It started the fog of war

[–] 100@fedia.io 7 points 14 hours ago

at least there is competition these days, unlike during twitters rise

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 14 hours ago

He's going over to Threads, which is only a slight improvement.

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.

The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.

If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.

"I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they're just too toxic"

Honestly.. 🙄🙄🙄
